Quoted from Vic_Camp:

R & Y Amusements was located on the corner of Broadway and Elwood Ave in Newark NJ. It was across the street from the Elwood movie theater, which I use to go to every Saturday( two movies for 35 cents)and Broadway Jr High School, which I attended in 1967 and 1968.
Back in 1969 at the age of 13 my dad and I bought a Gottlieb Sweet Hearts from R&Y Amusements. Finding this Eldorado over 15 years ago in a town called Essex Fells with R&Y sticker on it is a special connection to my younger days when pinball ruled my world.[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Runbikeskilee:

Almost forgot this one which is hidden away on the upper L corner of one of my machines.
Folks from the Wash DC area may remember this vendor, who made a business out of selling machines to individuals, until they closed down a while back.

Quoted from Dono:

I bought my first machine from Alex Paradis... I believe Alex is living the dream in CA now.
Thanks for sharing your sticker![quoted image]

Quoted from Blknblumark:

Looks like they updated their name sometime between your sticker and 1993, as the sticker on my Scorpion project says 'Rockville Home Amusements'
Also a really nice glamour shot of the showroom on the score card! Looks like its from around 1993, as the most recent pin I can ID is Street Fighter II

Quoted from Guidotorpedo:

If anyone finds games that have this operator sticker on it, then it was from my dads arcade/route biz. I’ll buy the game off you if you ever want to sell it. I collect his old stuff.
Also any that had an inventory sticker from “fun attic, inc.”. Those were his too. He had arcades in malls and shopping centers from Easton PA south through Baltimore back in the day. If anyone remembers space station in Owings mills or machine shop/penny arcade on the block in Baltimore, those were his.[quoted image]

Quoted from Guidotorpedo:

They were legal to operate, but it illegal to pay out on. My grandparents both got arrested at their bar for paying out on a Bally orient machine back in the day lol.
The law in Maryland said that Bally and United could not legally ship a game with the same serial numbers on the cabinet and parts through state lines (like a location ready game in a box on a pallet). So what Bally would do was they would ship parts to like eight different places in the city of Baltimore. My dad and my grandfather used to go around in a truck and pick up all of the parts with all the different serial numbers, take the parts back to my grandparents house, and assemble the bingo machines and put them on location.

Quoted from Runbikeskilee:

I don't think I've seen this one before on this thread. It is on a '71 Bally I picked up. I had never even heard of Mt Ranier, MD and had to look it up. Maybe Dono or someone from DC area might recognize it?
